Having worked for 10 years in the Telecommunications Industry across a range of traditional SDLC roles, which included Function Tester, Maintenance Engineer, Developer, Technical Co-ordinator and Systems Engineer, Chris ventured into Software Management as a combined Line Manager / Project Manager in 2003. Quickly establishing a reputation for delivering on time, quality projects, Chris joined the Project Management Office (PMO) of a large Telecommunications organisation, working with large geographically-spread projects at Total Project level in Development and Systems Project Management.

Understanding a need to reduce waste and realise end-user value, Chris naturally transitioned to an Agile way of working in 2007/2008 and took on roles as Scrum Master and Product Owner over the following 7/8 years.

In 2015, eager to expand his experience, Chris left the Telecommunications company that he worked with for nearly 22 years to start a new career in the Pharmaceutical, Consumer, Medical Devices industry with a well-known, global market leader, who were looking for someone to help transition the IT Application Software division to an Agile way of working.

In addition to the challenges faced in transitioning an organisation to an Agile Framework, Chris is actively breaking new ground by coaching an SAP Development organisation to work through Agile.

Chris continues to support all parts of the Business to transition to a leaner, customer-focussed, agile organisation, Supporting Sales and Marketing as an Agile Coach and Product Management and Technology Services as both a Product Owner and an Agile Coach.
